BR. I was just looking at the manual for my 06 and it appears that the 450 xc has the exc 1st, 2nd and the 525 xc 3-6. The 525xc has a different 1-2 then the 450xc. Didn't know that. Although Fano's book says his 450 mxc has the same trans as the 525 so itmust have changed in 06. So the 450 xc would not be that bad a dualsport.

Ah shit! Up until now this was easy (EXC/XC-w has wide tranny, MX/XC doesn't), but KTM could not be true to their naming convention could they?

To keep it simple, you're telling me that the 06 and 07 450XC has a wide ratio 1-2, and close ratio 3-6? Wouldn't I want it the other way around? Close 1-2 and wide 3-6? At least that's how I was planning on gearing mine (whatever 450 I end up being able to find/afford).

I'm almost making sense of this XC/MX/EXC/EXC-R/MXC/XC-W/XC-F/MX-F/ADV/six days/ADV-R/champions nonsense!
